Nissan to Introduce Infiniti Brand to Japan Market

DETROIT — Nissan Motor Co.’s upscale Infiniti vehicles will be introduced into its home market in Japan in as soon as two years for the first time, some 25 years after the brand was launched, the head of the luxury vehicle division said Sunday.

“Nissan needs to accommodate the Infiniti platform in Japan. It’s a must,” Infiniti division president Johan de Nysschen said Sunday.

Mr. de Nysschen, who took over the Nissan premium brand last July, told reporters in a meeting ahead of an annual auto show in Detroit that he wants to bring Infiniti into the Japanese market “within the next two years.”
